here she is...... after so many months.....i lubs it ❤️💜💛💚🩵💙
the only thing that needs to be done is from the kitchen guy
front glass doors and 2 shelves right below
the backsplash needed to be done first
idk why the doors weren't put in.... sigh
the fridge fit - it was a lot of sucking in the stomach lol - so relieved

some items that i wanted to commemorate the occasion- i bought them a while ago in anticpation - been stalking these artisans i discover for a few years and i probably have shown them when i received them eons ago
the 2 mugs from the UK (center mug from young niece for my BD gift)
it also is handmade - but crumpled lol
the cutting board is from an artisan in alaska
harvest from the farm and the 2 glass pendants - i waited a long while
they are blown in MN - remember i paid extra for a signature and they dropped it off with the neighbor w/o ever ringing my doorbell....
coolest part is the faucet - u can tap the spout and water can come on and off
figure with dirty hands - no touching the handle is best
i have been cleaning the floors and even thought they left the place pretty clean -
no garbage at all
there is always a white residue - been going at it since early monring
brother and his son came to move the fridge
took everything out of freezer/fridge - then put everything back
i took them out to lunch - i'm pooped
this is the bathroom - just a classic look - nothing earth shattering
the vanity is the coolest part - it is a floating cabinet -
makes the smaller space look larger

dining room light - bulb peeks on top and bottom - brass inside - sedona red which doesnt really show up in the shot - glad i went with this than the stained glass

yahooey's place after dark
many complained that there was too much movement
and the suggestion was to use a frosted bulb and not clear - for a muted look
i did not comply - BRING ON THE FLARES
i just want to lay down on the floor and look up

there is still so much to be done - but not today
i want to thank all of preds friends 💜 for being supportive
from looking for lighting fixtures and how to space them
- kelvin temps - and lumens - oh my the math - i'm very proud of how it all came out
they there were missing deliveries or mismeaurements - and the waiting and the washing of dishes in the tub - you have been on this crazy journey with me OY!
you are all SIMPLY THE BESTEST
it took me weeks - figuring it out - u all know the trials and tribulations
in my head is an image -sometimes i cant articulate it - but eureka when there is terminalogy for it
me wanting the subway tile but not doing the bricklayer classic look
it has whtie grout so the pic may not show the design
i dont remember if i posted this on july 4th - here it is w/o grout
it is called 1/3 offet - but i just knew i wanted it staggered a bit
i really never see this done on HGTV - been watching it a lot during reno
prior to it - never saw a single episode of any of the shows

gonna chill out and have some ice cream later
dinner was a toasted bagel with creamed cheese
i still have not looked for the instruction on the induction oven or range hood
i have to put distilled water in a spout and run it first - it steam cleans the gunk
tomorrow is another day....
ai lubs awl uf ewes berry much🩵
